A Hutt City representation review has recommended that community boards, including the Eastbourne Community Board, be disestablished.
The Eastbourne Community Board believes that community boards provide an invaluable service to residents.
The report argues that representation is inequitable with only three community boards in Hutt City, in Eastbourne, Petone and Wainuiomata. We believe that introducing a community board to each ward would be a better way to address this inequality. (This would see the Eastbourne and Petone Community Boards combine for Harbour Ward).
The report also argues that community boards, established in 1989, are no longer relevant in the twenty-first century. The Eastbourne Community Board believes that in this digital age, face-to-face access to elected representatives who are neighbours in our communities has never been more important.
